And a question for somebody familiar with Irish conventions - what do they call the time that's in effect during non-summer-time - "Greenwich Mean Time"?
I presume they call it that because that's what it is. :-) The Irish statutes in question call it "Greenwich mean time", without capitalizing the "mean" or "time". While we're on the subject of names, Ireland's Standard Time Act, 1968 gives no name to what we're calling "Irish Standard Time"; it merely uses the phrase "the time for general purposes in the State (to be known as standard time)".
